SECTION 1

Being human, we all need to eat and drink to survive. But food means much more than that. In this section, we will look at the definitions of terms that will be used throughout this course, food hazards, good and poor food standards, allergic reactions, microorganisms, bacteria and your responsibilities. 

SECTION 2

Having high standards of personal hygiene at all times is crucial for all food handlers. And keeping your hands clean is one of the most important things you can do to prevent bacteria from contaminating food. This section will cover hand washing, PPE, Gloves, Jewellery, Cosmetics and First Aid, Infection and Illness. 

SECTION 3

As a food handler, one of the best mottos you can live by is ‘clean as you go’. This means cleaning and tidying up after yourself during the working day, not just at the end of your shift. We will cover cleaning do’s and don’t’s, schedules, bins, cleaning your fridge and disinfecting surfaces & equipment.

SECTION 4

The Storage and Temperature of food are key factors in working to keep food safe. There are a few different things to consider when it comes to food temperatures, deliveries, storage, preservation, packaging and labelling which we’ll take a look at in this section.

SECTION 5

As we’ve discussed at certain points throughout this course, there are certain legal requirements that food businesses and food handlers must meet. In this section, we will look at food legislation, food management systems, record keeping, enforcement officers, training requirements and first aid.
